"I was extremely surprised, as well as delighted, when I heard that I was the 2000-01 recipient of the Russell Bidlack Scholarship. Surprised, because I did not know that such a large scholarship existed. Delighted, since it meant that I did not have to worry as much about financing my second year of education at the School of Information. Thank you for making my studies at the School of Information less stressful."
